About White Coats Black Doctors

The White Coats Black Doctors Foundation, Inc. (White Coats Black Doctors, WCBD) is a nonprofit organization created in 2015 by five Black medical students. 

​Because Black men and women remain under-represented in the physician workforce, our mission is to increase diversity in the medical profession, specifically by supporting the development of future Black physicians.

We aim to create a culture that realizes the benefit of an assembly of health professionals as varied and diverse as the population it serves.
